The Truth will free you

Morning: Psalm 42, 43; I Samuel 2:1-10; John 8:31-36
Evening: Psalm 48, 87; Haggai 2:1-9; I John 3:1-8
Mary felt Jesus move in her womb, and praised God. Hannah did, too, after she ‘lent’ her son Samuel to God.  Both women found freedom in doing God’s will. Jesus himself said: “Continue in my word; you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” To do God’s will is to be free … no longer a slave to illusions about life. One illusion is that my life is my own. When we are free, we freely choose what God wants, and let go of ourselves, as Hannah and Mary did.
